We are glad to note signs of a reviving interest in Anderson, Abbeville and Edge field counties in the Blue Ridge railroad and ita extension to Port Royal.

The Supreme, Court, however, could issue that writ, and, as that met June 10th, the prisoner would have but little time to wait. He would never permit ties of friendship to influ ence his judicial action. The iaw was plain, and he could sec no other way. lie was free to say if he., presided when the conviction was had, and the application for bail bad been mode, he would have granted it, but he could not review ibe actions of a circuit judge. Counsel for the prisoner were mistaken when they at tributed to him any higher power than that exercised by a circuit judge. The Supreme Court had that power, but oe had not, and, therefore, he refused to grant the order. Subsequently, Judge Cooke, after maturer consideration and a confer ence with the Chief justice, granted the application, the amount being fixed at the sam of $20,000, and the order was to-day made and sent to the clerk of the court at Greenville, with the sureties, for record and acceptance.-Columbia Herald, 22d. -nr-r-11-r0--*".*"?" r*-T,n,cr "area on Tuesday morning, at 3 o'clock, after most intense sutfering for six weeks from an injury received while out drivin?.

Simultaneous with our Convention of Southern and Western Governors in At lanta last week, was an important. con ference of .Northern and Western Con gressmen and others in St. Louis. Vari ous resolutions were passed, a number of which favor the deepening and gene ral improvement by national aid of the Mississippi River, the removal of rocksf and the establishment of bars at shoal places, and declare that the other great Western rivers should also be improved. Other resolutions declare in substance that no bridges should be allowed te ob s-troet the Mississippi below St. Louis; titat cheap transportation is of vital ira pOrtanee to ?he Weet* that shipmasters oiitrhtto.be allowed to purchase ships where tfa??y like and have American pa pcDv-ihorct'cr. Another resolution asks t hat the laws be so au tended as to restore the prestige of Ilia American commer cial marine, and enable it to do its share of the carrying trade of the world; and that ?flt is necessary, American iron uiasters iuust be shielded from foreign comp?tition. This ts an excellent move. ??onie substantial government encoor sg?ntent should be given to the construc tion of iion vessels, and such Federal patronage bestowed as will sustain American steamship lines against the naequal competition which now exists, .md thu.* rift our once great merchant wtartne from its disgraceful inferiority, and keep the riven -and property of our people from-being longer imperiled in wanlen ships and floating tinder boxes.

Having arrived in this City a day be? fore the Canal Convention assembled, I had ample time to "see the sights and find my friend"* Two of the ityliest things I saw, were a sloth and an Egyptian nintn . ruy.

The Oilier Side ol' tho Indian .Story. The New York Independent revives the recollection of some facts which have a peculiar interest just now : " General Sherman, we hope, knows his mind. In 1SG7, just after the Cheyenne war had been concluded, at a cost of thirty mijJjrTio ^Ldollars, he wroii-an ofliciul re port, saying that, if thc Indians were to be dealt with by a policy of wer, they ought to be under the War Department; but, if the policy waa peace, they should bc under the Department of the*Interior. Now he seems to have been frightened out of his wits by the murder of C?en. Cari fry by a little band of half-civilized and half breed marauders, and says that the War Department should control the Indian management; but insists that officers ' must be sheltered against "the bowl -of such as followed Major Baker after the Piegan attack, as also General Custer after |ua attnr k on Black Kettle's'camp." Shel tered, indeed! Has General Sherman for gotten how he denounced these attucks,* and how a Congressional committee- did the same? Canby's murder was inno cence itself in comparison. Take the Pie man case. A white (fader quarrelled with his Indian ?rte s relatives, und w.as ?hot in the melee. We have heard of such things among white folks. Gen. Baker was sent to avenge thc while ionVs dentil.' The tribe was suffering terribly from small pox. By mistake Gen. Baker strnck the small pox hospital instead of tile main en campment of the tribe, which was twelve miles away, and massacred thc small-pox patients-men, women and children-aw! their attendants. We were all horrified and "perhaps ' howled,' and against such n 'howl' Gen. Sherman to dav wants future G?n. Bakers ' slu-Itered.' Tho Black Kuf tle difficulty was bogan by the shooting of au Indian chief.mulei a flag of truce. Gen. Sherman said 'of it in 1804:. 'It scarcely has a parallel jn the records of indian barbarity.' Thc Indians were en camped under the direction of our officers' and supposed themselves protected by our flag. Ikey were scalped, women frere ripped open, children were clubbed uud their brains beaten out, and their bodies so horribly mutilated that the committee would not print part of the testimony. And itjs such Gen. Casters" whom Gen. Sherman then condemned, but would now 'shelter.' We appeal from Sherman mad to Sherman sober." ptr The Missouri Caucasian lias made a discovery, and ?*y? : " Tho Confederate Government made a great mistake in as ?einblinj;at Richmond, Va. a Had iteet tled down comfortably in the Lava Beds of Oregon, and hired llic twenty-one Modocs, who are now whipping the whole yankee army in detail, as its army of Independence, ibero would not have been left a yankee squaw to tell the.tale " ?E?r Judge IL B.
